almost trauma and flooding your putin were to charge an entry analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the us and between their presidents how does their rivalry and their dangerous mutual admiration affect the rest of the more. bosom bullies trump and putin starts august 3rd on d w. hello and welcome to good shape do you have as many imperfections as i do my body fat and my resting heart rate are too high i'm also not satisfied with the way i process my stress and i manage my time and i really have to do something about my wrinkles and i could be much more effective in my job and i also don't spend my leisure time in

an optimal way and if i could get myself to drink more green tea i would be in better shape and more efficient and what about you are you working on yourself optimisations like me so what's the point can we be perfectly happy and can we be happy lee perfect. i'm eating paper feed she's assigns a journalist and she's written a book with a great title how good should i end up being and this is my 1st question how good should i end up being should end up being as good as you want to be and that is. ok but right now we're living in the age of self optimization counting all the calories we're trying to go all around and so on so why do you think this is the age of soap opera in a sense because people are comparing themselves with as a all the time and if you come pay yourself with those of people and you're only

one then you have to live. do you have a pat did you happen to see a dog sitting in front of the mirror for hours grumpy because he's unhappy about his appearance also cat ever worried about how you might feel about her we humans are different we always want to be better than we are with this human nature it's always been like that but today it has become something more an obsession self to. we were interest leave better work better love better and live better. you get everything for there's never enough can you. can't there's always something i can get done more capital you've got this in the system demands says total success for each that. they.

have self optimization oh man. when you just. talk for a head i had my cheeks done once to. chip in. lips a brow lift and my jaw here they firmed up my jaw a bit like i'm talking to i think that's all that's. ready go. yes now you're in the rhythm of the might also. work out of this but if this is what you're seeing here don't try this at home.

this is basically a commercial freezer. if you can do what we got there for degrees. it should be around 0 to $2.00 degrees. thank. goodness if you've been in for a minute now. that's. what a funny idea so what do you seem right why is somebody using a freezer for optimisation maybe you're thinking off ice cream that has always been comfort when you feel troubled child resumes you think ice cream is more like seeking comfort and to get some reward for the soap optimisation then yeah septum is ation every ball and it's also like a security line in the way that feels so much in

a world that feels like i am not in the mouth so i'm trying to improve. so i'm safe in this but i would put myself into a freezer i mean this hurts this is painful why do i have to optimize myself over the trash old physical pain. so maybe what's next saying if somebody that says stop somebody that's caring for you that's who says no don't do that you're good enough you already have done so much and you are good in this world and that's. somebody that is against your own thinking. you might say this but when i think of myself i'm very hard on myself but i'm not as hard on you so why am i so hard on myself and letting other people be a better friends for yourself that is kind that's part of the solution be a better friend for yourself and ask yourself ok if

a friend was here now and i was saying this i was thinking this what would he or she say and then you can give yourself the answer because you already have it in you. if i really want to give it a girl and self optimize myself i really need some professional to help me like a personal trainer. going to. follow up money. i'm 36 years young i studied sports science in both women cologne i've lived and worked as a personal trainer in berlin for the past 12 years and as a personal trainer i aim to help my clients attain the best possible level of physical mobility and at. 21st try to define what my clients want to achieve they each have their own specific goals which can vary widely for some clients it's about losing weight off

others want to build strength and grow muscles. everyone wants to be able to look in the mirror and feel good about themselves so i set up a training plan and then we get to work. exercise and fitness are not always the primary goals of training and self optimization. i often work with my clients on stress management or nutrition those can be issues that need a lot of attention in the work and. good natured album it's not just about doing an exercise once twice or 3 times a week and feeling that you can take the self optimization box for many of my clients there are all kinds of other issues sleeping well that even well i'd organizing it optimizing their work life or their family life i try to help with

that i'll bounce ideas off them and offer support as best i can on what if that's not a bad thing ok he. begins autumn and you should always start by defining your goals what would make you happy and you shouldn't let social media and other people's opinions influence you too much think about what you would like to look like and how you might get there a personal trainer can be of assistance but you can also read up on the matter yourself look at advice and support from your family or perhaps your colleagues and then chart your own course. in our high pressure society self optimization can be a never ending quest once you have tenure i got weight you then want bigger muscles or lose even more weight i might even have a dream job but creative promotion i think you should always take things one step

at a time and reflect on what your next goal might. work towards that without piling up a whole bunch of goals and ambitions to stay focused on trying to sometimes just feel contractual and with goodbye to just. when you watch t.v. commercials or take a look at. the industry wants to tell us you're not good you have to buy the new better so do you think this health optimization is not from me but it's brought to me from the outside from rather companies exactly this is how making money works in the well right now so. companies the most money if we feel bad we're willing to spend more and we'll willing to spend more on things that we probably don't need to advertise in that manner that makes us feel bad that's the best way to make money right now ok but if i get better if i get smarter more handsome and

so yeah it makes me feel good so what's so bad about it no it's great do it think about that you say that. makes me happy yeah it will make you happy if you do too much so you get used to being a person that constantly works on himself so you do this you do that and you try to be strong in the squad and try to be prepared for everything. but it won't work because there's always something new that comes out so you get on the pressure to do more and more and more and that's a lot of stress. if you want to be perfect all around tried by a. well you don't know what. to follow you think if you want to be flawless you have to be honest with yourself. concentration performance sucks ass to keep up with the demands of everyday life we need to optimize our body

the thinking behind a house movement called biohacking morning we want to challenge our bodies to make them more resistant. plus he has to feel is wearing a special mask that makes breathing more difficult. it's intended to strengthen his diaphragm. g.m. biohacking is that you push yourself on the one hand to find out where your limits are so that you can go beyond them then on the other hand you try to come back to a flow state to relax. after training he regenerates at a so-called. here you can find all kinds of equipment including the use of recovery at work for compression. you know you depending on how you program them you get a total partial foot massage. which can flush out black to acid and other build up . if you say. you know it's so relaxing when the air goes out and your

blood rushes back in. then it's on to the next thing. i turn on the red light briefly. red light therapy is designed to reenergize the body and boost performance. while you can feel all your cells going. it's like the sun without thinking. after his regeneration session my head home there he tells us how he got into biohacking. this was my birthday 6 years ago i turned 34 and i was just burned out i was gaunt had no. energy no wind durrance and they couldn't focus on anything more kind of constant. he says biohacking helped him overcome the burn ice. and i had to find a solution for my life so i tried out various biohacking techniques i improved my

diet did more exercise i focused on my digestive health especially and work to improve my sleep. before he goes to bed he notice which is all of his wife i am makes sure he drinks enough fluids. he wears a special plaster to force him to breathe through his nose it's supposed to improve his sleep he wears that old nice. but could not be harmful. tamari is a doctor specializing in sports medicine you took a look at our footage despite the commune's on the biohacking in its mild form where there's do more sports have a healthy diet and get sufficient sleep it's certainly a positive thing but the more advanced version especially with this breezing risk is more dangerous. did someone using this be under the supervision of a support stopped. hacking is perhaps not suitable

for everyone but it seems to have helped. to find a way of burnout. is about just a secret between the 2 of us to try to optimise yourself sometimes a bit yeah that had to run and it's not going very well to try to optimize a little bit that's what you stop a friend who says to you well i want to have a tummy tuck some. i would talk to her. and the lying feeling is that she feel bad that she feel insecure when i stopped her though because i'm not a friend but i was one to be there and see if i can do something to make us feel better right so you try to advice or better to be just be your friend you just told me you started to run and it's not going to run

a myself and it's going very well because i'm trying to optimize myself every single day counting my steps my calories or even have my blood tested some time with a little tiny chip inside my skin so do you think i've got an obsession. sounds definitely have an obsession there but i can also see that still have. that's not a problem that's a good thing. well the perfect body is important you know but what about old brain ok our brain is good well at least. bad with the latest technology you can even and hands your brains it's called brain hacking. neil harbison had his own brain 14 years ago he had an antenna attached to a skull he was a walking living cyborg harbison is completely color blind the sensor registers colors which are then translated into

a range of audible vibrations he can feel hear. it also allows him to hear like wavelengths that other humans cannot see. change the way i see lives and i perceive life i feel more connected to nature now because i sense in friends and exist in nature i feel more connected to other species. with species that can feel ultraviolet. and infrasound i feel more connected to the cause most because i can connect and feel the colors from space so it makes me feel more connected to reality to nature and to other animal species. just 5 years from now we'll all be upgrading our brains with technology that's according to. the high tech entrepreneur who co-founded the electric vehicle manufacturer test them he also oversees research into turbo charging our brains.

that's merely a mecca journalist and former professor of communications sciences is fascinated by the idea of enhancing creativity and thought processes using brain hacking but she sees the risks. if. we do know something about the brain but not a lot before we're starting to try to optimize it before we really understood it the brain is the seat of everything that makes us human emotions love identities personality intelligence to go in there and perform some technical manipulations to achieve a certain outcome. that's pretty borderline or even a step too far. an expensive us hi to him. she did try out transcranial direct current stimulation a low voltage current is passed through the brain it's fancy it makes you better at a range of activities. and find he will back the effect was pretty immediate wasn't

for a long time i couldn't eat i felt really sick and i couldn't sleep i felt totally wide awake but not in a good way for it was unpleasant and in the midst of course medical science is exploring ways to cure diseases by means of intervening in the brain diseases such as alzheimer's and depression. the brain project develops brain computer interfaces this woman was able to move a robotic arm and take a drink thinking about moving her paralyzed on. its own to shine the foot that kind of research is entirely different from efforts to hack your way to more cognitive capital using electric currents drugs or implants to improve yourself to join the upper class of the cognitively enhanced. that's all about trying to acquire opportunities and advantages for yourself it's a hobby. some fans of so called cognitive enhancement use drugs such

as ritalin or l.s.d. in micro doses. they say they make you why do wake put you in a great mood and like you work with ease and efficiency. it's not unproblematic if we use meds in order to cope with the ever tougher demands of a competitive society to be able to keep up cognitively. people are under ever greater pressure and you mentioned. if we were his or teasing substances brain or neuron hansen in order to meet those challenges and hence meant. one hence we are resorting to means that were not intended to be used for that purpose then question the ultimate india and africa markets and. what's more these attempts to boost mental performance are not based on solid science and

have many ethical and social implications. well we talked about optimization of our body of our brain and how we have to talk about beauty well i don't have to do anything because i'm a natural in 2017 almost 24000000 cosmetic operations were performed well light those procedures used to be expensive and complicated but today it's more quick and easy like beauty to go in our beauty is big business the internet is full of videos about transforming your look at adverts for cosmetic surgery as if it were the most normal thing in the world. this beauty parlor can cosmetic surgery practice in zurich welcomes between 40 and 80 clients and patients a day of all shapes and sizes. it offers all manner of treatments from

face lifts to penis enlargement and everything in between. mythologised christophe berra says botox remains the most popular treatment. specially in the face the wrinkles on the forehead the vertical lines here the crow's feet around the eyes those are the most popular areas. before and we use hyaluronic acid to fill certain wrinkles around the nose and from the mouth to the chin. arjuna confided to. one 5th of his female patients are under 35 some are under the spell of the women who've log about their cosmetic adventures on you tube. here i am at the airport i'm going to get my breasts done. for the bloggers getting cosmetic surgery is almost like a hobby. that encourages others says dr.

you know i see many young people they've probably been influenced by what they see in various shows on television or videos on you tube the numbers are definitely rising i know. there are more open to the idea ready to think about what they might get out of it if a undergo a medical cosmetic treatment to the. 24 year old you need a shower visit cosmetic surgeon at another clinic several times a year to have her lips done. meant to me. she says she does it for herself. i always wanted to have big lips. then a colleague of mine got hers done and she inspired me to do the same. i

like to see it 1st in others in people i know and that's even. in russia we say beauty saves the world life and that has great meaning it says i want. to be perfect i'm a perfectionist. millions of people around the world put up with the blood and the pain you know just to change the way they look and the number may well be growing. if you always try to optimize yourself this is a lot of stress and stress is not very healthy i know this because i'm a doctor yet that is why stop them as a self won't help if you always try to improve yourself you'll get used to the feeling of being a person that's not ready for his own life but why am i always focusing on the things. i'm missing in myself which are bad not all the good things simple my

responses were so why use it that way because you're used to it where you have to look at the moments in the day that were bad the moments that really tell a friend or a family about so if you're just saying it's that and i think that you get used to thinking about those moments that were great and probably said you worked out really well then that changes fundamentally but you said but very had to be done and how can i change it how can a focus on all the good things in the focus of just a regular back to look at the things that were good in the day and to make them bigger in your own. in the way that you would tell a day in the end ok so so it's like mindfulness yet it's also. it's a new habit of looking at. and friendly way and that in

a critical way as humans we always try to optimize all self and we try to optimize this in good shape and we need your help so write us your comments by email. in good shape your weekly health. covers many aspects of health care we look at what's new in medical treatment nutrition fitness and beauty. we discuss these topics in depth with specialists and give you the chance to pose a question or do you get in touch. honestly this was a great show what's the best show ever heard was a great script perfect camera work and a great presenter is always in the. i'll be a good friend and say hey he had a great good so all of us be a good friend to yourselves as well.
